UBC is located on two campuses that showcase the splendor of British Columbia. The Vancouver campus is on a stunning peninsula overlooking the Strait of Georgia to the west and the Coast Mountains to the north and east; UBC Okanagan, the Kelowna campus, is 274 kilometres to the northeast, nestled at the west edge of Canada’s Rocky Mountains in BC’s verdant interior.

Vancouver

Recently ranked the most livable city in the world by The Economist magazine. It’s easy to see why: in addition to being a safe, clean city with excellent dining, shopping and cultural activities, Vancouver is close to nearly every activity you can imagine. Take a drive up to Whistler for an autumn afternoon of mountain biking, head to Cypress to catch fresh powder on Olympic snowboarding runs or rent a kayak and tour the Pacific Ocean inlets.

Kelowna

A smaller city, rich with year-round recreation. Rollerblade along the shores of Lake Okanagan, cool off wakeboarding on a summer afternoon or explore old-growth forests on horseback. When the snow falls, you’re just 45 minutes from Big White, one of Canada’s most popular snow-sports destinations.
